AND THERE’S A DIRECTOR’S CUT? Helllllll yes

Hey so this story fucking rips actually? I’ve been waiting for Lorwyn/Shadowmoor to come back since 2007, and gang? We’re so back.

The worst part about my boyfriend working third shift (aside from all of it) is that he goes to bed at 4 and now I don’t have anyone to talk to when I fuck up cooking and get worried about food poisoning. Or about memes. Can’t talk about those either.

Some people have noted that I once read Hillbilly Elegy That was when some prick had written a bad memoir. Now he's the vice president That prick wrote a bad memoir and he ain't from the goddamned holler and I don't care where he spent his summers until he was twelve Fuck JD Vance, he's miniscule

This whole OU thing has really been a nice reminder that if I want to be a teacher, I’ll never be allowed to be out about my identity. Online, sure. But it will never be safe for me to ask my students and coworkers to gender me correctly. I’m fucking tired.

It’d be really cool if horrible shit could stop happening right before my school goes on break. I’m fine but fuck man, today was like, one of the worst my school has seen.

We’re still here, and we remember the ones who aren’t. I miss each and every one of my trans friends who’s gone, and I’ll keep fighting for a world where none of them have to die before their time.

Them, extra-cool voice: "But there are already enough [X genre] games out there." Me, extra-dork voice: "But we haven't yet seen YOUR [X genre] game! That's gonna be something quite special."

too real lol

If you own more housing units than the home you live in, you should get one chance to give it up and give it to someone who’s homeless. After that, and if you say no? Well, I don’t want to get suspended.

Oh okay, the Green Knight is in fact fucking _banging_. I mean that both in the sense that it’s very good, and also in the sense that it is VERY horny. Which is not unrelated to it being very good, now that I think about it.

Per my last post, here’s a guy who knows the science. I can’t speak to the science, so listen to him instead.

I’m reposting this again because the Hitler DNA stuff has hit the normal internet, and my points still stand. We don’t know, we can’t know, and it doesn’t matter. He probably had Parkinson’s, but that wasn’t why he did the Holocaust. He did the Holocaust because he was a hateful man with power.

Apparently they’ve “sequenced Hitler’s DNA” or something like that, and since “the Holocaust” is one of like, two things I have some expertise in, I want to talk about how important this is. It’s not. It’s not important, it doesn’t matter, the only things that are going to result are ongoing harm.

Apparently I can’t take a sick day without the kids getting into a fight. The parents of the kids also almost got into a fight, so that was new.

Put your fuckin’ boot through it, goddamn!

Being a NYT columnist must really cook your brain. Even people in PA don’t like Josh Shapiro. If he’s the future of the Democratic Party (he’s not) they’re gasping.

"the oil companies are bribing Trump not to attend COP30". No, the oil companies are attending COP30. Let's see how many oil lobbyists attend this time. COP28 had nearly 2500 oil lobbyists which greatly numbered around 1,500 people from the most climate vulnerable nations in attendance

Really the only sad part about Dick Cheney dying is that Harry Whittington died first, and was denied his richly deserved revenge via shotgun. When Cheney gets to hell, I hope Whittington is waiting for him, a barrel full of birdshot in hand.

Woke up today to the news

Ursula K. LeGuin on technology

The many monarchs of Europe, the slaver's Confederacy, the Kaiser, the Nazis, the Italian fascists, Imperial Japan and many more all assumed that because liberals value peace and human life, that they were weak and feckless and easily beaten. Go look for them now.

Y’know, sometimes I think about JD fucking Vance, and it just pisses me off. Like fuck, man, from the roots I hate that man. Y’all means all, except for him.

Quick I’m at the Ren Faire and all of my normal roleplay buddies aren’t here — what’s my quest this year? Last year it was to try and get the queen to sign my letter of marque, but I’m not wearing my privateer kit. It’s “general peasant and miscreant” hours.

Cursed places: a bookstore that doesn’t organize its history section by subject, and instead just puts books by author, regardless of topic.

I just want to put it out there: I ALSO have a skull tattoo that I got on impulse when I was in my early 20s, and it’s NOT a Nazi skull, because I have the basic presence of mind to a) know what a Nazi skull looks like, and b) not accidentally go to a tattoo parlor where they’d tattoo Nazi skulls.

I finished writing a character journal for @rufflejax.bsky.social’s upcoming LARP, Birds of Holy Terra, and I need a shower — Interrogator Klenger might be the scummiest character I’ve ever been party too. All this to say, I think she’s perfect and I nailed “so bad the Inquisition hates her.”

I’m also gonna get in on this because I’m very excited about this project! If you want to play a game about Women With Trauma and Machine Guns (tm), this is a perfect game for you. I’m very proud of the writing I’ve done for it, so go check it out!

“Did you build relationships?”

I’m at a wedding this weekend, for a cousin of mine, and I get to play my very favorite game. The game where I try and figure out how to say something other than “the Holocaust” when people ask me what I study.

I described Space Marines I’m building as “third gender asexually reproducing parasitic child soldiers,” and y’know what? When I’m right I’m right. Thanks @rufflejax.bsky.social for completely shattering how my brain engages with 40k.

@potatocubed.bsky.social since I know you’re running Lancer right now. Just a thought if you wanted to make things Weird.

When I grow up I want to be this frog.

There is nothing on this planet I love more than when someone tells me about their special interest, even if I don’t know shit about it. Fancy saxophones from the Great Depression? Hell yes my guy. An anime I’ve never heard of? Go off, king. Nukes? Yes please. Let me learn what you love!

It is 2025: the Vikings have been defeated in Ireland. It is 1022: the Vikings have been defeated in Ireland. It is 977: the Vikings have been defeated in Ireland.

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

God I hope I’m still teaching civics or historic in 20 years

Thinking about the time I was in a depression spiral and @lightonthemtn.bsky.social broke me out of it by asking me what my favorite tank was. It really shouldn’t have taken me until I was 26 to realize I had a touch of the ‘tism.

God damn I love a mass market paperback. Gimme the books I can fit in my pockets again!

No fucking Nazis in Valhalla, neither of you will see the inside of the hall of the slain.

It’s really fascinating that they say this when he literally had dinner with Trump, and they TALK ABOUT IT IN THE ARTICLE.

Would anyone would be interested in being an advanced reader of a short story collection I'm releasing soon? If you are, lemme know! It's 25-ish pages, if you want to just give me feedback, that's great, if you want to give me a quote to throw on the cover, that'd be cool too. Cats for algorithm.

I write a lot more when I’m not working 60 hours a week teaching, that’s for fuckin’ sure.

While this is not a qualifying factor for the presidency, I do like that JB Pritzker looks like he could beat the shit out of a Nazi, personally.

No officer, you have to understand, these are my emotional support space terrorists.

@kallidorarho.bsky.social are you familiar with the SARATH SRTH-10 mech from Battletech? Or is this just a super cool coincidence?

Made my therapist visibly wince and say she’d gotten a stomach ache when I explained my work situation and environment for next year. Does this mean I win therapy? (She also had some helpful suggestions for dealing with it, so that was nice too)
